Chapter 236 - Breeze.
As the team from silver city blocked the right side of the road. Yang Dao moved ahead from the left side. What he did was to stand up and dance. The captain of the team in front of him was actually taking advantage of the sun and calculating his actions through the shadows formed on the road. However, he could still only see the front side of Yang Dao's body.
When Yang Dao synced his body movements with the person, he looked down slightly following his actions and found that the shadow on the road was formed from behind them as the sun was still not that high. This gave him the idea of how he was being blocked. So, he meticulously came up with this way to pass the people.
Yang Dao had locked his head in the standard position while his butt was already off the seat. As long as he would stand up, he can dance at his best. So he delayed raising his head much and with a jerk on his bike he fooled the opponent and passed them smoothly in one go.
As soon as the captain of the silver team saw this he said, "Klint, chase him." in a loud voice. Klint was the climber and at this moment he was riding in the second position behind the drafter.
The guy switched the gears of his bike and moved toward Yang Dao. However, can the dao child let him catch up? NO.
Yang Dao switched the gears and his bike zoomed past like a breeze. Klint tried three-time but Yang Dao did not slow down at all. Klint returned to the team and said, "That boy is not a good thing."
A calm voice asked him, "I human language."
Klint sighed and said, "That boy is the one riding Silence. Feng Yang Dao. I have heard his record, he has a record climb on this peak that was when he was riding a normal bike."
The captain at the back said, "Interesting. I want to see how he can keep up at this pace."
...
At the front, Icarus suddenly shivered and said, "He is here."
Ray was drafting for the team, and said, "Thomas, let the kid go and chase down Alex. The gap is too much for me to catch up in this old age."
Felix chuckled. A few moments ago they were not so calm and relaxed. Felix had taken the sprint checkpoint of the city. Ray was supposed to rush the mountain but he had to draft and now the opponent was already seven hundred meters ahead. He did not have much confidence to catch up and beat that guy. Also, this was the first day so he did not want to push himself too much.
Yang Dao however was a monster and he could eat people even a kilometer ahead of him. Eugene was the second year who was riding with them, he was originally not part of the team but Ayaka said that he has a better chance than the other guy. No one had an objection. So he joined the racing team.
He was at the back of the team and said, "But what if the Military Uni tried to stop him?"
Ray said, "You stay ready to draft, I will block the army." Icarus chuckled and said, 'Yesh, senior Ray block the army."
Everyone chuckled. Suddenly they heard Thomas say, "Dao get the peak." in a loud voice.
Yang Dao had almost caught up with them and was just two meters away from the team when he heard this command. He stood up on his bike and switched the bike to the highest gear combination and sped up like a gust he was.
The opponent team was just a few meters ahead of them. This team was wearing dark green jerseys. They were all military colleges, situated in Jade City. The biggest competitor of the national university.
They also heard this command from Thomas and sneered. After all, they were the people who trained rigorously all year around. How can a civilian student get past them and catch up to their top climber?
However, before they even had the time to scoff at them a figure passed them from the right side of the road. The captain of the military school was shocked and said, "Chase."
Yang Dao had already shifted his focus to the peak and the rider ahead with no concern for these people in his mind. A barrier formed in front of him and his speed increased even more. The boy stood up on his bike and he rode like he was being chased by something horrible.
The student from the military college could not get close to Yang Dao at all. It was as if he was chasing a ghost. Yang Dao's figure became distant at a visible rate. It was like the person was riding a motorbike.
...
One kilometer away from the peak, a boy was climbing with a frown on his face. He mumbled, "It is no fun to climb without a competition. Old man Ray could have at least tried, no? Tch."
This boy was a third-year student in the military college. His name was Alex Storm. He has been competing with Ray for a long time as the two were from similar schools. Only in college did they separate.
Just as the boy was scolding Ray for not racing with him. He felt a strong pressure coming from behind him and his hair stood up. He started to pedal seriously and increased his pace. However, this feeling did not go away but it was like a sword getting closer to him with each passing second. he wanted to look behind him but he stopped himself and steeled his heart.
Soon, the sword chasing him caught up. Alex could not see the face of the other party as at this moment the rider had his head down and was looking at the asphalt. Alex asked, "You are also from a national university?"
Yang Dao replied, "Yes."
Alex nodded, "I did not notice you in the team formation earlier."
Yang Dao said, "I was not in the formation." his legs were moving constantly and the pace was keeping up with Alex.
Alex was surprised to see that this boy could keep up with him. Suddenly his eyes fell on the bike Yang Dao was riding and looking at the patterns, a bad premonition rose in Alex's heart. He glanced at the gear assembly and saw that the front section had four gears.
He thought, 'Black textured body and four front gears. Zero sound production. This is 'Silence' so this boy is the one who rode from the last position today? Feng Yang Dao, but how did he catch up?' his pupils dilated the next moment.
Yang Dao raised his head and with a smile, he stood up on his bike and sped up. They had unknowingly reached the five hundred meter milestone from the summit. Alex was still stunned when Yang Dao shot off.
